10 Chapter 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DatAlert The DatAlert workflow API enables changing the status of alerts and adding notes to them. This version enables closing all alerts that are related to deleted or disabled threat models. A new threat model indicator is introduced, Personal user of another computer, used by the Alerts page to inform users if the device that they are using belongs to another user. New threat models were introduced in this version: Abnormal user behavior: password reset by an administrator followed by access to a computer other than the user s personal computer Abnormal user behavior: password reset by an administrator followed by access to a computer to which the user does not normally access Abnormal service behavior: unusual amount of logons to personal devices Abnormal service behavior: atypical actions performed on mailbox owned by other users Abnormal behavior: unusual amount of s sent to a single recipient Abnormal service behavior: service account attempted to access a personal device for the first time Abnormal computer behavior: computer account attempted to access a personal device for the first time Abnormal access behavior: possible credential stuffing attack from a single source Abnormal access behavior: possible distributed credential stuffing attack Abnormal service behavior: service account logged on to a personal device for the first time Abnormal behavior: unusual amount of logons to personal devices Abnormal behavior: accumulative increase in the number of logons to personal devices Abnormal behavior: unusual amount of logons to devices Abnormal behavior: accumulative increase in the amount of logons to devices Abnormal service behavior: unusual amount of devices accessed Abnormal service behavior: accumulative increase in amount of devices accessed Abnormal computer behavior: unusual amount of devices accessed Abnormal computer behavior: accumulative increase in amount of devices accessed Abnormal admin behavior: unusual amount of devices accessed Abnormal admin behavior: accumulative increase in amount of devices accessed Abnormal behavior: unusual amount of devices accessed Abnormal behavior: accumulative increase in amount of devices accessed Abnormal behavior: unusual amount of public devices accessed Abnormal behavior: accumulative amount in number of public devices accessed Abnormal behavior: unusual number of authentications to personal devices by end-user account Abnormal behavior: accumulative increase in number of authentications to personal devices by end-user account Abnormal behavior: unusual number of authentications to devices by end-user account Abnormal behavior: accumulative increase in the number of account authentications to devices by end-user account METADATA FRAMEWORK RELEASE NOTES 4

11 Chapter 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Abnormal admin behavior: unusual number of authentications to personal devices by admin account Abnormal admin behavior: accumulative increase in number of authentications to personal devices by admin account Abnormal admin behavior: unusual number of authentications to devices by admin account Abnormal admin behavior: accumulative increase in the number of account authentications to devices by admin account Creation: automatic forwarding of incoming messages on mailbox The default alert template now includes the Alert Page URL parameter, enabling users to open the Alerts page directly from or SIEM services. A new alert template was created, Varonis App for Splunk, in order to integrate Splunk with Varonis. The template is in CEF format. DatAlert Web Interface Context cards have a new look and feel. In addition, the Threat Model Search Results, Category Search Results and Day Search Results context cards are no longer available in the DatAlert Web Interface. Alerts can be managed from the Alerts page and the Alert Info page. The Export button in the Alerts and Events pages enables exporting table data to a CSV file. It also enables exporting the list of connected entities in the File Servers, Directory Services, Exchange and SharePoint dashboards. The Alert status filter now appears at the top of the Alerts dashboard and the Alerts page.

16 Chapter 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY What's New in DataPrivilege In this version, DataPrivilege is declared a Release Candidate. What's New in Core This version provides support for NetApp CM 9.1. Bug fixes What's New in DatAdvantage DatAdvantage now provides the ability to define ownership for an entire group, in addition to per user. This option reduces the logistics of managing ownership changes. Users assigned to the Enterprise Manager role can clear tags and global flags attached by other DatAdvantage users, including those also assigned to the Enterprise Manager role. Beginning in this version, when a DatAdvantage report s results exceed the maximum limit configured in the Management Console, and a CSV dump file is created, the CSV file will include only the selected columns from the report template. This potentially reduces the size of the generated reports. DatAdvantage now provides the ability to restore only the data for specific users for a specific time range. The Global Access Groups Permissions Remediation Module includes new functionality such as notifications creation for both global-level rules or a single rule, and improved ability to define remediation scope. DataPrivilege Important: In this version, DataPrivilege remains a beta release. DataPrivilege provides support for server volumes configured as both CIFS and NFS, also called mixed mode. Integrated - Permissions reports can now be generated directly from the main Permissions pane. It is also possible to customize the content of notifications regarding exported permissions as needed. This feature is disabled by default. In this version, the Management Console enables configuring separate mail settings for DataPrivilege. Changes to application settings Set the permissions to be exported - The name has been changed to Set the view mode for export permissions. New - Allow owners to copy permissions when making a folder protected - Enables owners and authorizers to copy permissions from the parent folder to the protected folder. METADATA FRAMEWORK RELEASE NOTES 10

17 Chapter 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DatAlert DatAlerts can now be generated upon the addition or removal of forward delivery options in Exchange file servers. New placeholders have been added to the predefined alert templates and to the list of optional placeholders in the Add Alert Template window. The default alert template now includes the Event status parameter. This version provides a number of enhancements to the DatAlert and DatAlert Analytics templates. DatAlert Web Interface The DatAlert Web Interface introduces the Alert Info page, which enables investigating specific alerts. New dashboards provide aggregated metric data for the selected scope: File Servers Directory Services Exchange SharePoint The previous dashboard has been renamed to Alerts Dashboard. The Alerts dashboard now displays the Top Alerted Devices panel, which provides a list of up to five top alerted devices matching the search criteria specified and sorted by the number of alerts. The Device Search Results context card has been added, to enable viewing data about the device involved in the alert. The Watch List flag is a unique global flag that enables keeping track of specified users at a glance. Data Transport Engine Beginning in this version, it is now possible to copy only the non-sensitive files of a folder. In order to prevent users from modifying archived files, the Data Transport Engine now provides a dedicated permissions mapping per rule so that administrators will be able to reduce permissions while archiving the data. Management Console In this version, the Management Console enables configuring separate mail settings for DataPrivilege. It is now possible to migrate from NetApp 7-Mode to Cluster Mode via the NetApp Migration tool (7MTT), enabling customers to continue working with the existing Shadow databases without the need to re-add all file servers. With this version, the Management Console and Enterprise Installer enable installing and configuring the DatAlert Web Server component. Additionally, the DatAlert and DatAlert Analytics component has been renamed to DatAlert Analytics to enable installing and configuring DatAlert Analytics separately. The Management Console now enables storing flattened events to enhance the overall performance in the DatAlert Web Interface. The DatAlert Web Server component must be installed to enable this feature. METADATA FRAMEWORK RELEASE NOTES 11

18 Chapter 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY It is now possible to configure network segments and exclude specific segments from IP resolving. The Management Console now includes an Update Manager tab for deploying Varonis updates for each component, server, and client application. Reports DatAnswers Core and Infrastructure This version adds support for EMC Unity 4.1 and Unity Family , including events. This version adds support for SQL Server In this version, the DatAlert Analytics jobs have been changed. A number of jobs have been added, and others have been removed. Microsoft Access and Open Office file types are now scanned using Oracle Outside In Technology instead of ifilters. The following Exchange On-Premises events are now supported: Mailbox forward delivery option added Mailbox forward delivery option removed Licensing Upgrade The Global Access Group rules from version x are not supported in the upgrade to x. Rules that were created in x must be deleted before the upgrade. Documentation This version introduces the DatAlert Web Interface Triage Guide. This document provides a recommended workflow scenario for conducting a full alert investigation in the DatAlert Web Interface. It triages the process of identifying the threats which require immediate attention and the steps to take while investigating them. Noteworthy or Changed Behavior Resolved Issues Known Issues What's New in Version includes both and This means it includes DatAlert Analytics. DatAdvantage It is now possible to assign groups as resource custodians to grant all users in the group custodian privileges on the file server. The Set Ownership over Entities dialog box now enables adding groups as custodians on file servers only. With this version, several enhancements have been made to SharePoint Online and OneDrive capabilities. Users who work with DFS/logical paths can upload flags and tags based on DFS/logical paths rather than only physical paths. For files with guest links, it is now possible to remove guest link permissions for Anonymous Logon built-in groups. This version introduces new events metadata, by resolving a device's IP address into a hostname that is more human-readable and more easily monitored in a DHCP environment. METADATA FRAMEWORK RELEASE NOTES 12

19 Chapter 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY When new groups are created, it is now possible to add members of other groups to the new group. It is possible to select whether all the direct and nested user and computer members of another group will be added as direct members to the new group, or whether the membership hierarchy of another group will be added as is as members of the new group, thus preserving the group members hierarchy. It is also possible to add members of several groups to the new group. If the new group is created with permissions to a folder, it is possible to easily add already permitted users (via other groups) to be members of the new group. The Global Access Groups Remediation Module enables IT to locate folders where global access permissions are not in use and safely remove (remediate) those permissions. This process reduces the security risk to the organization while avoiding any disruption to the organization's business processes. The synchronization button on the status bar has been changed from to Synchronization to Calculate Access Errors. The functionality remains the same. Administrators can now either allow or deny users with edit/commit role to perform commit operations on folders with broken inheritance. If the administrator allows this ability, than each user can select whether to perform the commit operation on such folders or avoid doing so. Tactical error enhancements: In the Work Area, the Errors pane has be renamed to Expected Access Errors and contains new columns. The Permission Sources window contains a new tab, Permission Sources Causing Access Errors, displaying information about edited permissions. Integrated - When editing an existing permission entry in the Group Creation Wizard, it is now possible to select the objects to which the permissions will be applied. This feature is only available for Windows file servers. Integrated - The Dictionaries tab has been moved from the DCF and DW Configuration window to a window of its own, accessible through the Tools menu. Integrated - In the log, times are now normalized to UTC. Integrated - CNAME aliases for file servers are now supported in DFS management. DataPrivilege This version introduces the DataPrivilege Windows Extension, which enables users to create permission requests directly from the file system. Installation on web farms is supported in this version. It is possible to grant folder permissions to a group nested within another group, if the parent group has direct permission on the folder. In the Excel data file, the Bulk Upload Utility now includes a separation in managed folders between Windows and SharePoint. Integrated - It is now possible to search for entitlement reviews according to specific folder names, group names or rule names. Integrated - Multiple entitlement review schedules are now available for groups too. METADATA FRAMEWORK RELEASE NOTES 13

20 Chapter 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DatAlert This version introduces numerous changes to threat models, including name changes as well as changes in severity and category. In addition, it introduces two new threat models. Two new placeholders, Device Name and Device IP Address, were added to Alerts, and also appear in predefined alerts templates (replacing the existing IP/Hostname placeholder). Multiple syslog and SNMP servers can be configured. This version provides support for the TLS encryption protocol, for sent by DatAlert. Integrated - In this version, DatAlert includes a predefined alert template that complies with the CEF format, to enable sending DatAlerts to HP ArcSight via Syslog. DatAlert Web UI The DatAlert Web Interface has been redesigned. The new design includes: Dashboard view Analytics view Events view Alerts view Changes to columns, filters and refinements Complete event log. Insights and refinements. Links to launch the DatAlert Web Interface from DatAdvantage and DatAlert Management Console The Data Loss Notifications feature now includes the ability to define the frequency of the notifications, and define different rules for different sets of file servers. Each file server can appear in a single set only. A notification will not be sent for file servers that are predefined as excluded. Several features were added to improve the resource monitor, including enabling users to decide which shares can be ignored and hence not be the subject of notifications by the resource monitor. Integrated - This version enables identifying executive accounts during discovery of privileged accounts. Integrated - A number of new jobs have been added to the DatAlert Analytics jobs category in the Management Console. DCF This version provides the ability to assign one or more global flags to files based on DCF rule criteria. It is now possible to update DCF rules and patterns without causing an automatic rescan. The DCF now enables limiting the search to specific file parts or locations in Microsoft Office files, Excel files or hyperlink addresses. Integrated - Several enhancements have been made to patterns and regular expressions. Data Transport Engine A new ability has been added to the Data Transport Engine that will perform a "dry run", meaning it will calculate the results of copying files before execution. This function scans METADATA FRAMEWORK RELEASE NOTES 14

21 Chapter 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY the file server (not the database), thereby providing a more accurate estimation of copied data. Integrated - With this version, the Data Transport Engine now copies unique as well as inherited permission entries from the source to the destination. Reports A new filter has been added to reports 3b, 4a, 4b, 4d, 4j, and 6b, which filters according to users and computers listed in a CSV file.
